Topic | What's the best animated superhero series? |
Glob 05/31/24 3:00:21 AM #23 | Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted... To rep the recent hotness... X-Men 97 is exceptionally high quality. It is. Personally, Ive always felt the hype for Batman TAS to be overblown. |
Topic | I can't believe that in a few months i'm going to be a 30 yr old virgin :( |
Glob 05/31/24 2:58:25 AM #6 | A few months is more than long enough to get laid. |
Topic | Why the F are you still up? |
Glob 05/31/24 2:35:32 AM #2 | Its half one in the afternoon. |
Topic | How ok would you be if your girlfriend/wife gave gifts to her relatives? |
Glob 05/31/24 12:03:37 AM #5 | I always bring gifts when visiting my partners family. They always bring gifts when visiting us. I dont think its got anything to do with me being a westerner. I normally get a little extravagant with the kids, but the gifts for adults are normally small tokens. The woman in the first post sounds awful. |
Topic | How many shots are in a 750ml bottle? |
Glob 05/30/24 10:58:21 PM #15 | Shots are typically 25ml or 35ml. Therefore in a 750ml bottle there are 30 25ml shots or 21 and a bit 35ml shots. |
Topic | At least she was honest this time. |
Glob 05/30/24 7:51:14 PM #3 | Seems like a very reasonable message. Ive sent people something similar before. |
Topic | Do you believe that if politicians do have affairs that it is even really |
Glob 05/30/24 7:50:12 PM #17 | RetuenOfDevsman posted... So does them lying to hundreds of millions of people about what they plan to do for us and slaughtering millions overseas for oil. Surely youre not suggesting that bad people can do more than one bad thing? |
Topic | Man tredmills are Hella fun. |
Glob 05/30/24 7:47:49 PM #7 | RoosterGold posted... Woosh^ Absolutely. I have one at home. They have their place, particularly at certain times of year. |
Topic | Anyone switch from Android to iPhone? |
Glob 05/30/24 11:07:25 AM #42 | I switched in 2022. Im seeing no discernible benefit. |
Topic | Would this be lunch or a snack for you? |
Glob 05/30/24 7:42:28 AM #21 | Zikten posted... It's basically adult Lunchables Exactly. Processed and unappealing. |
Topic | Do you use any Buy Now Pay Later services? |
Glob 05/30/24 5:10:17 AM #9 | The only loans Ive ever taken are student loans and a mortgage. |
Topic | What should I do in Tokyo? |
Glob 05/30/24 4:31:40 AM #9 | Golden Gai and general Shinjuku is worth a few of your evenings. |
Topic | Okay so you are on a plane |
Glob 05/30/24 4:07:15 AM #28 | The_Korey posted... Pretty much anyone but you by default. |
Topic | Would this be lunch or a snack for you? |
Glob 05/30/24 3:37:34 AM #8 | I wouldnt eat that at all. It looks processed and unappealing. |
Topic | Real Gamers Have Played at Least 3 of These 10 Games |
Glob 05/30/24 1:04:30 AM #19 | Then I guess Im not a real gamer. Oh well. |
Topic | they're saying the PS5 is Sony's most profitable console gen, so far |
Glob 05/29/24 11:08:28 PM #16 | Baron_Ox posted... it's difficult to know what you meant with what you posted without the why, tbh. I really dont see how. A console is not a generation. I made a statement about generations and you interpreted that as being purely about the PlayStation consoles of that generation. As for why this one is the worst, theres hardly any games. Its an absolutely pathetic generation. |
Topic | they're saying the PS5 is Sony's most profitable console gen, so far |
Glob 05/29/24 11:02:42 PM #14 | Baron_Ox posted... I've got to disagree on this. I also preferred the 360 and didnt even own a PS3 and dont regret that for one moment. However, the thing youre disagreeing with isnt actually what I said. |
Topic | they're saying the PS5 is Sony's most profitable console gen, so far |
Glob 05/29/24 10:25:48 PM #10 | And yet its the worst gen that Sony have ever been involved in. Doesnt exactly fill me with optimism for the future. |
Topic | What percentage of your paycheck goes into taxes etc? |
Glob 05/29/24 10:24:09 PM #11 | Its just shy of 50%, but it would be a lot more were it not for certain parts of my take home being allowances which arent taxed. |
Topic | Can't post the pic but Leonardo DiCaprio is dating a new 19 year old woman |
Glob 05/29/24 9:48:28 PM #108 | MICHALECOLE posted... The issue is somebody took their time to make this chart Absolutely. Thats much weirder than anything else mentioned in this topic. |
Topic | What's it like having a significant other nowadays? |
Glob 05/29/24 7:56:43 PM #10 | I dont think its really changed. |
Topic | Have you been to a Mexican restaurant recently? |
Glob 05/29/24 7:53:54 PM #4 | On Tuesday. Anitas Cantina. |

Glob 05/29/24 7:52:42 PM #5 | Its much better than V. |
Topic | Can't post the pic but Leonardo DiCaprio is dating a new 19 year old woman |
Glob 05/29/24 7:50:37 PM #92 | action52 posted... There's nothing morally wrong with it, no. As long as he's being honest with them and not intentionally leading them on to think they can have a permanent relationship. But you'll notice that even when they're famous / hot enough that they can date only women in their early twenties and under, there are very few big celebrities who do. Younger people do offer different perspectives, to be fair. Theyre less likely to be bitter and jaded and more likely to be optimistic. But also, having a shallow relationship doesnt necessarily make you a shallow person. Yes, maybe he just gets with younger women for the physical aspects, but that doesnt mean he doesnt have more meaningful relationships with other people without the sexual aspect. |
Topic | Food delivery workers who don't speak a word of English. |
Glob 05/29/24 9:12:03 AM #69 | Babidi123 posted... When I used to work in retail I worked in an area that had a large Eastern European and Korean population. I would say maybe about half of them knew how to get by having a basic conversation in English. At first it was frustrating because it was hard for me to get their orders right but most of them were regular customers so as time went on I knew exactly what they wanted as soon as they walked in. Id imagine its the same way that foreigners cope with that sort of thing here; they take a local with them. |
Topic | One of these superhero movies gotta go |
Glob 05/29/24 7:59:07 AM #23 | MangaBroski posted... I think the first Spider-Man is the second best live-action Spider-Man film, but even behind its sequel, it still does laps around all the other films. I really dont rate its sequel at all. |
Topic | Food delivery workers who don't speak a word of English. |
Glob 05/29/24 2:47:32 AM #31 | Ilishe posted... Norway? Vietnam. Building off of what others have said, learning a language to a point where you can be confident using it in daily interactions (not just ordering beer or a pizza) takes a huge amount of time and dedication. Ive known loads of people who think you will pick it up just by being around it constantly and thats simply not true. As for TC asking how Id feel about a company that employs people who dont speak a word of the local language, it would be hypocritical of me to condemn them. My current employer took me on in those circumstances. |
Topic | Meat or video Games |
Glob 05/29/24 1:44:42 AM #7 | I barely play games now anyway. |
Topic | Food delivery workers who don't speak a word of English. |
Glob 05/29/24 1:43:37 AM #7 | As an immigrant in a non-English speaking country, I know plenty of people who have lived here for years and barely know ten words of the language. It strikes me as strange that nobody gives them a hard time for it, but in English speaking countries, immigrants who arent fluent are often given a hard time. |
Topic | Do you find yourself living past 70? |
Glob 05/29/24 1:40:01 AM #9 | Who can really say? Compared to some, Im pretty healthy. However, Ive also had many injuries, some of which already give me problems at 37. Then theres just the fact that theres so many things you cant account for. You can live as healthily as you like, but if youre unlucky, some disease or accident or whatever will take you young anyway. |
Topic | Why is forgiving yourself so difficult? |
Glob 05/29/24 12:23:39 AM #2 | Because you know deep down when something is actually your fault, or at least you think you do. |
Topic | Structures like this in Japan blow my rural peasant mind |
Glob 05/28/24 11:13:44 PM #3 | I dont understand why that has had such an impact on you. |
Topic | One of these superhero movies gotta go |
Glob 05/28/24 11:05:31 PM #19 | MangaBroski posted... Iron-Man or X-2. Is need to rewatch both to decide, but I lean towards keeping Iron-Man. My logic was that Ironman is the best Ironman film, Blade is the best Blade film and X2 is the best X-Men film. Spider-Man is the third best Spider-Man film IMO. |

Topic | You guys notice hardly any emails went out today? |
Glob 05/28/24 9:47:33 PM #3 | Its 8:46 am here. So far today I have received 32 emails. |
Topic | If someone saved your life, would you feel you owe them a life debt? |
Glob 05/28/24 9:46:03 PM #6 | Surely it depends on the manner of their having saved your life? Somebody casually doing something pretty easy that doesnt inconvenience them in any way to save your life isnt the same as, for example, somebody risking their own safety to save your life. |
Topic | Can't post the pic but Leonardo DiCaprio is dating a new 19 year old woman |
Glob 05/28/24 9:32:58 PM #63 | thronedfire2 posted... but the article I read implied he just dumps them all at 25, not when they try to make things serious. It would be impossible to know that was his reasoning unless he stated it. Its just speculation. But even then, I dont see a problem. He breaks things off with them at a time when they are still young enough to build a life with somebody else, rather than leading them on into thinking the relationship is going somewhere that it isnt. |

Glob 05/28/24 9:01:19 PM #60 | thronedfire2 posted... if he was abusing women I'm pretty sure that would have come out by now Is it though? I dont think theres anything wrong with backing out of a relationship thats changed into a dynamic that you no longer enjoy. |
Topic | Peanut butter is fucking amazing |
Glob 05/28/24 8:58:22 PM #4 | I dont mind the stuff, but find it a bit strange how enthusiastic some people get about it. Usually Americans. |
Topic | Can't post the pic but Leonardo DiCaprio is dating a new 19 year old woman |
Glob 05/28/24 7:48:44 PM #45 | Baron_Ox posted... sorry, I just meant that there's nothing about him abusing anyone. Fair enough. I clearly didnt read it the way you intended. Thanks for clarifying. |
Topic | Can't post the pic but Leonardo DiCaprio is dating a new 19 year old woman |
Glob 05/28/24 7:44:15 PM #40 | Baron_Ox posted... ^ as far as we know, it's just the dating younger women thing. This really makes it sound like you think theres more to it. To be honest, whenever people criticise him dating younger women, it just comes across as very bitter. Is there anything to suggest that hes ever treated these younger women badly? |

Topic | Have you ever betrayed your principles for money |
Glob 05/28/24 8:47:18 AM #24 | Yes. As a younger man I had some pretty tough times. Finances were pretty shit. Had to do things I didnt really want to. |
Topic | What job comes to mind when I say: paid lots of money even if bad at job |
Glob 05/28/24 8:21:39 AM #12 | Police generally arent well-paid. Hell, theyre not even all paid full stop. |
Topic | I joined a fighting gym. |
Glob 05/28/24 7:02:13 AM #9 | Its a great way to stay fit. How effective it will be for actual fighting massively varies by gym. |
Topic | Will AI Take Over Your Job in the Future? |
Glob 05/28/24 5:18:16 AM #12 | No. The people who pay the fees for the school I work at would lose their shit at the very suggestion of their kids being taught by AI. They dont even tolerate them being taught by Vietnamese people if they can help it. |
Topic | Scolding hot showers are the best kind. |
Glob 05/28/24 4:45:56 AM #15 | Depends where I am. In a temperate climate or colder? Hot shower. In the tropics? Cold shower. |
Topic | i think at this point i know more people who claim to have ADHD than not |
Glob 05/27/24 11:17:27 PM #16 | NoxObscuras posted... Absolutely horrendous take. Yes, a lot of people are self diagnosing, but it doesn't mean that they're just trying to find something to blame their failures on. People going undiagnosed is definitely an issue, but people self-diagnosing is not the solution to that issue. Ive encountered plenty of parents who are desperate for a diagnosis because its a crutch for them so that they dont feel bad when their child displays challenging behaviour. There are people out there who will use it as an excuse. The thing is, it can be a very real, valid excuse for many things, but only if you really have the condition. |
Topic | In your opinion does the "pro life" side have any reasonable or |
Glob 05/27/24 11:07:53 PM #55 | KajeI posted... See above. Dude, Im not trying to argue against you here. Im just trying to understand your logic because it doesnt entirely make sense to me. For what its worth, I also believe that theres nothing inherently wrong with abortion. Also, youre right that I badly paraphrased you, ignoring some of the nuance of your position. I apologise for that. |
Topic | i think at this point i know more people who claim to have ADHD than not |
Glob 05/27/24 10:49:26 PM #10 | yusiko posted... Keep in mind a lot of these people self diagnosed so they would have something to blame their failures on Yes, it is a very real thing but lots of people self-diagnose. Its also true of dyslexia and OCD. If you havent been diagnosed by a professional, you shouldnt be telling people you have it. |
